Lattimore became the head coach at Heathwood Hall, which is also located in Columbia, after leading its middle school team to a championship last year.
He played for South Carolina from 2010-2012, even garnering second team All-American honors during his freshman year. Lattimore’s promising career, however, was plagued by injuries, prompting his retirement from the NFL in 2014.
Muschamp certainly knows a thing or two about Lattimore, having coached against him as Florida’s head man in 2011 and 2012.
